Further details
Security guard Leah is the last line of defence at a small factory on an industrial estate, but in these heightened times anything could happen.
Nicola Sturgeon is so keen on Angela Merkel's style that she will go to any length to get the look, health nut Mabel has a new blender, and top New York producer Bernice Rubin is over in the UK trying to secure some Shakespeare for Broadway.
Plus, a song about pulling the plug on the technology in our homes that stops us talking to each other, and Dame Judi Dench in a shop full of fragile china.

Judi Dench in a china shop
Dame Judi Dench visits a shop full of delicate china. What could possibly go wrong?
Featuring: Tracey Ullman & Gemma Arrowsmith.
Press
The scattershot sketch show with the odd musical number continues, and while Ullman's portrayal of Judi Dench as a compulsive hellraiser insulated by her national treasure status is a solid, repeatable gag, it almost overshadows her impeccable impersonation of Maggie Smith (here reimagined as an eager-to-please YouTube vlogger). Elsewhere, Nicola Sturgeon goes to great lengths to get the Angela Merkel look.
